If you want to dip delve into the vast grammatical pool you must take it for certain that you must know the Parts of Speech quite well along with their definitions, functions and their appropriateness in the English grammar. Now it is Adverb that you have to know for Adverb is such kind of Parts of Speech that has the power to modify all its other counterparts save the noun. You may not find the use of Adverb in other languages. But in the English language its use is mandatory and to a large extent important.
Perhaps you have the basic idea that an Adverb generally ends with ‘ly’ that is a suffix. There is root word, generally an adjective that the Adverb modifies. But there are instances too where you may find that only ‘ly’ in the ending does not denote an Adverb. Though in the very beginning I have mentioned that Adverb generally despises noun it sometimes takes the help of a noun to form contrary. The words are the suffixes -ways and – wise.

You must take into account that use of quotation mark is obviously vital in English language. In English grammar, it is one of the vital punctuation marks that are used to highlight whether the words can lead without being interrupted or with some interruption. You have to keep it in mind that if you bring an interruption while using quotation you have to place either a comma or nothing but a colon to specify the interruption.
